how Latinos have transformed democracy<\/a>, said the split among Republicans is consistent with national polling. The trend is problematic for Trump, he said, because it means he is losing big swaths of his base. <\/p>\n\u201cThis is becoming viewed as overreach more than it is immigration control,\u201d he said. \u201cThe idea sets a frame for it, but the actual implementation is widely unpopular.\u201d <\/p>\n
Republicans were largely united in response to other questions. Asked about the Trump administration\u2019s proposal to do away with birthright citizenship \u2014 which confers citizenship to all children born in the U.S. regardless of their parent\u2019s legal status \u2014 67% of GOP respondents approved, and most of them strongly approved. By contrast, 92% of Democrats disapproved, and as did seven in 10 respondents overall. <\/p>\n
Mora said she was surprised by the fact that Latinos didn\u2019t stand out as substantially more opposed to Trump\u2019s actions than voters of other racial and ethnic groups. For example, 69% of Latino voters said ICE raids have unfairly targeted Latinos, just five percentage points higher than the 64% of white non-Latino voters who agreed. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou would imagine Latinos would be through the roof here, but they\u2019re not,\u201d Mora said. She said this reminded her of research around the tendency for Latinos to individualize their experiences instead of seeing them as racially unjust. <\/p>\n
Broadly, 72% of Latinos disagree with the way the Trump administration is enforcing immigration laws in California, while 25% approve and 3% have no strong opinion. <\/p>\n
Among Latino voter subgroups, older men and third-generation (or beyond) women are the more likely to support the way immigration enforcement is being handled in California, with 38% of Latino men over age 40 in agreement compared to 11% of Latinas ages 18-39, although among both groups majorities disapprove. <\/p>\n
Madrid said that\u2019s consistent with national polling showing a decrease in support for Republicans among Latinos after record gains in the last presidential election. The question, he said, is whether Trump\u2019s approval ratings among Latinos could regress substantially enough to flip control of Congress in the midterms. <\/p>\n
